The 81-year-old Paterno was hurt while performing an onside kick during practice on Aug. 28.

| Florida aims to bounce back vs. Arkansas (AP) |
| The last time Florida played Arkansas, the Razorbacks had a Heisman Trophy candidate and the Gators went on to win the national championship. Florida won't have to deal with Darren McFadden this time, but the Gators' road to the BCS title game looks even more daunting now than when they beat the Razorbacks for the 2006 SEC championship. -- read full article |

| Spread offense highlights Penn St-Purdue (AP) |
| Purdue coach Joe Tiller brought the spread offense to the Big Ten. This season, Penn State might have perfected it. The sixth-ranked Nittany Lions have unleashed their "Spread HD" on college football this year, and they rank among the nation's leaders in scoring and total offense. While Purdue's pass-happy version has been effective, the Boilermakers' ability -- or inability -- to slow down Penn... -- read full article |

| Vanderbilt tries to go 5-0, hosts Auburn (AP) |
| NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A sold-out stadium with two ranked teams playing a big SEC game. Can this really be Vanderbilt? Yep, these Commodores are going big-time. No. 19 Vanderbilt tries to go 5-0 for the first time since World War II when it faces No. 13 Auburn on Saturday. "They'll be sky-high," Tigers coach Tommy Tuberville said of the Commodores (4-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference). -- read full article |

| USC tries to rebound against Oregon (AP) |
| Each of the past two years, mighty Southern California was knocked off by a Pac-10 underdog. Each time, the Trojans bounced back with some impressive victories -- and then lost again. They've already had their first shock of the season, in their conference opener at Oregon State last week. Another loss almost certainly would knock USC out of national title contention and dent their chances of a... -- read full article |

| Daniel leads No. 4 Mizzou into Nebraska (AP) |
| Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel knows that if his destination is New York for the Heisman Trophy presentation, he must navigate the road through Nebraska. The fourth-ranked Tigers (4-0) have a long history of flopping in Lincoln against the Cornhuskers (3-1), but this year they seem to have a team that can win here for the first time since 1978. -- read full article |

| No. 14 Ohio St. visits No. 18 Wisconsin (AP) |
| Chris "Beanie" Wells cracks up in the huddle when freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor eagerly tries to describe each play before Ohio State runs it. "It's funny, Terrelle always has to look back and explain the full play," said Wells, who pesters Pryor about the habit. "I just know it comes with being a new guy." No. -- read full article |

| Hall helps No. 8 BYU win 15th straight (AP) |
| While No. 8 BYU's string of shutouts is over, the nation's longest winning streak continues. The Cougars remained unbeaten with a 34-14 victory over Utah State on Friday night, extending their winning streak to 15 in a game that got closer than BYU has been used to. Utah State became the first team to score on BYU in nearly three full games and the Aggies frustrated the Cougars into repeated... -- read full article |

| Texas Tech has been here before. Undefeated, ready to join the elite, to insert itself into the national title chase. This time, the Red Raiders hope to avoid the inevitable letdown that always seems to come with it. Emboldened by its highest ranking in 32 years, No. 7 Texas Tech (4-0) heads to Manhattan on Saturday to face Kansas State, determined not to let another opportunity wash away in... -- read full article |

| Auburn confident defense can slow Vandy (AP) |
| Auburn prides itself on playing anorexic defense against the run. Vanderbilt's spread offense is much more about running the ball than throwing. Something will have to give Saturday. "They are really tough. They're big, and they're fast," Commodores quarterback Chris Nickson said of the 13th-ranked Tigers' defensive line. -- read full article |

| New No. 1 Oklahoma opens Big 12 play (AP) |
| While being No. 1 is a new experience for the current group of Oklahoma Sooners, it won't change the way Bob Stoops and his team approach a game. "I'm not going to sit here and act like it's a horrible thing, but we're not sitting here jumping up and down either," Stoops said. "The bottom line is this is what we've done to this point in the year, and all that matters now is what we do this week."... -- read full article |

| Missouri looks to end misery in Lincoln (AP) |
| Whenever Jim Pillen talks to Bruce Dunning, he invariably asks, "Do you still have James Wilder's cleat marks on your forehead?" They can laugh now. Pillen and Dunning were members of the last Nebraska football team to lose to Missouri in Lincoln. That was in 1978, on a day Wilder ran for 181 yards and four touchdowns, running over Dunning for the last score in a 35-31 victory that dashed the... -- read full article |
